When I was nine years old my goal was to become a doctor. That meant
graduating from high school and attending college. I had to formulate a plan
that would enable me to achieve this.
In elementary school things were already decided for you as far as course
selection. In junior high, now called middle school, you had a more flexible
curriculum depending on the path you wanted to follow. It was then that the
thought of becoming a doctor solidified for me, and I used counselors’
recommendations and my own research to determine the classes I needed and when
to take them.
I hope the following three tips for business success are of use to you as an
entrepreneur as you plan and pursue your vision.
1. Keep focused on the main goal
Have a clear vision of your main goal. Although you may veer off course from
time to time, your big vision is always the focus. Sometimes challenges arise
and plans must be changed. Remaining focused on your ultimate goal will enable
you to make the needed changes to keep you moving forward.
2. Persevere
Sometimes you will face uneasiness and fear of the next steps to take. You
will need perseverance to keep moving forward and to stay on track. While in
school I faced a lot of major challenges and had to delay my college education.
I held on to my vision and eventually circumstances were such that I could
attend college. That was much later in my adult life and I focused on
“plan B” and received my college degree. Although I did not become a
doctor, I pursued something I was truly passionate about. You will also need
passion to succeed.
3. Be flexible
You need to formulate a basic plan that allows for changes. Sometimes large
changes to the plan will be necessary. You also need a marketing outline for
promoting your business. Decide which avenues and platforms you will use and
what your budget will look like.
These are Three Tips for Business Success to consider if you
are an entrepreneur or plan to be one and have decided the path you want to
follow.
